David CulleyMai ( <a href="https://mastodon.social/@rouh" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@rouh</a> ) is from Gaza and new on Mastodon. She doesn't know yet how to network. Consequently, she doesn't receive a lot of donations.The thing is: She takes care of a camp of 30 children. While suffering from genocide herself! Truly heartwarming. She could really use our support.The way to network on Mastodon is to FOLLOW her and share/BOOST her posts. Unlike other social networks, Mastodon isn't controlled by a corporate algorithm, or any algorithm that would make her discoverable. It is up to us. But that also means we see only what we want to see. 🙂I myself, to stay organized, use lists a lot. I have a list named "Gaza Verified" to which I add everybody from <a href="https://gaza-verified.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gaza-verified.org</a> . In case your worries about an overwhelming timeline hinders you from following more people.Please follow Mai ( <a href="https://mastodon.social/@rouh" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@rouh</a> ) and, if you're generous, donate to her.If you want to copy my tip using a dedicated list, also consider following everybody else listed on <a href="https://gaza-verified.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gaza-verified.org</a> verified by <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@aral</a>. 😊Thank you!<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genocide</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediTips</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/@rouh/115266714032813187" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@rouh/115266714032813187</a>

Fedi.TipsDid you know you can install Fediverse servers' websites as apps on your phone? These "web apps" let you have the most fully-featured versions of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed etc as apps on your home screen, including notifications, full screen interfaces etc.It's very easy to install web apps on Android and iPhone/iPad, full instructions in this guide:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse</a>Most web apps have more features than app store apps, due to restrictions in app store rules.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>

Fedi.TipsFor technical reasons, a profile may sometimes look blank if no one on your server follows it.To see the most complete and updated version of a profile, you can check its "original page". This is the original version of the profile hosted on its server.You can usually view a profile's original page by clicking ⋯ on the profile, then "Open in browser" or "Open original page".Original pages also have lots of other uses, more info in the guide at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/what-are-original-pages-in-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/what-are-original-pages-in-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>

Fedi.TipsCan I ask a favour?If you see someone who is asking for help using this place, and if no one else is helping them, could you tag me into the conversation and/or link to my website <a href="https://fedi.tips" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips</a>?I'm trying to provide unofficial tech support for people using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse.

nellie-m<a href="https://mstdn.social/@mattwilcox" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mattwilcox</a> <a href="https://social.coop/@scottjenson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@scottjenson</a> CWs are different from filters. I call them „Content Wrappers“. And I like them because they give me a choice whether I feel able to view that post •today• or not. Because depending on my energy level, that may vary. One day I may want to see your close-up spider picture, the next day please no. Content wrappers give me time to take a breath and brace myself. They do not require me to filter out the whole post, but let me view it at my own pace.Just two more examples:as an autistic person, I find portraits with eye contact *extremely* distracting. I love a content wrapper around one so that I can read the posts next to it, unwrap the picture and appreciate it, and then wrap it up again to continue reading.Food pictures can be hard when I’m hungry and can’t eat. A wrapper around it helps. Food is also really difficult to filter out, so many different words. I want to see your chickens, but alive and well, for example, not on your plate. So a CW has a different purpose than a filter, and there are good reasons for the fedi to have both in its toolbox.<a href="https://autisticpri.de/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feditips</a>

Fedi.TipsDo you want to customise your Mastodon timeline so that it shows more of the stuff you want, and less of the stuff you don't want?The timeline on Mastodon deliberately doesn't use any algorithm, and instead lets users decide what they see. There are lots of features you can use to customise your timeline including following accounts/hashtags/groups, filters, lists, notifications, blocks, mutes, boost mutes, conversation mutes and more:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/does-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-use-algorithms-does-it-start-pushing-stuff-at-me-based-on-my-interactions" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/does-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-use-algorithms-does-it-start-pushing-stuff-at-me-based-on-my-interactions</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

JonobieEvery so often I’m like: My feed here is SO high quality. A++. But why is it so quiet?? No one has posted in the last 5 minutes! 🤣…And then I realize I’ve shifted off my main feed to my “Personal” list, which is the handful of folks whose updates I don’t want to miss. Conversely if the 1k accounts and dozen hashtags I follow gets too noisy, I make Personal my home for a while and it’s lovely. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feditips</a>
